Mammoth Caves

Well, I'm tired right now, so this will be short.
Mammoth Caves were really cool. Got to see lots and lots of some of the world's finest caves. Spent a lot of time on the tourist trails, and quite a lot of time on other rinky dink ones as well. Fortunately, we had access to the park after hours, so we went in when the tourons had all left. We also got to see caves that are closed to the public, and went on routes that are definitely not advertised. I even went into one cave that Dr. Mylroie had never been into. So yeah, saw lots of cave, did some pretty tight squeezes and crawling, and had a good time. One nice thing is that the temp in the caves is a constant 54 degrees F. Nice and cool. But 98% humidity, so you still sweat plenty if you're working hard. I didn't take any pictures, but lots of other folks did, and I might get some of those, which I'll put on here later or on the other place with pictures...
